I was doing some catching up on a few of this year's TED talks, and came across this one:

Now I'll freely admit that I once found Jamie Oliver objectionable and irritating. But some of his recent books, TV shows and social experiments cum activism have turned me into a fan. This video is about his movement to end obesity through teaching people to cook real food, and eventually improve the health of everyone.

Anyone who knows me well enough can see why I'd be a fan of this.

I encourage you to watch it, even if you aren't a fan, and to stick through some of the ranty bits until the very end. He makes some good points, and you may come out the other end with a new perspective on how big the problem really is.
